In addition to the undoubted technical quality, the Dutch forward is a footballer who can act in various positions of the attack both from '9' and falling on the wing
The FC Barcelona technical secretary continues to work on preparing the squad for next season, and to give the new Barça coach, Ronald Koeman , a wide range of possibilities for his first campaign at Can Barça. One of the names that is sounding strongly to reinforce the Barça attack is the Dutch Memphis Depay , from Olympique de Lyon de Aulas.
The 26-year-old striker, a teammate of Frenkie de Jong in the Netherlands, is a footballer of undoubted technical quality who can act in different positions up front occupying '9' roles as well as being able to fall on the wing , thanks to his speed but especially for its intelligence when occupying spaces.
Also, Ronald Koeman knows him very well from the Dutch national team. With him he played normally at the top but there were also encounters that he dropped to the left wing, his favorite, since the attacker tends to go inwards to enhance his strong shot placed from left to right. With the Netherlands, but especially with Lyon, he has already left several targets with his hallmark.
Since his arrival at Olympique de Lyon in winter 2017, his rise has been meteoric . It is the main banner of the French team. Leaving his time at Manchester United, a group where he never adapted, the attacker has strengthened his virtues and improved his defects with a huge implication of work and effort. The clear example was the hard knee injury that he overcame, and that is that the player finished the last edition of the Champions League in a great state of form.
